Doom Roar

"Ah... no, Uncle Niu, that's not what I mean... well, what I want to say is that although marriages are all about the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, you also know that my parents have passed away long ago, and there is no one in my family who can The elder who is in charge, and no matter what, Miss Li is still the daughter of an official family, and she may not be able to look up to a poor boy like me who works hard..."

"Hey! What kind of official family, then Captain Li is just a petty official... But you are right, no matter how satisfied your aunt is with that girl, in the end it will be the two of you who live together, and you don't have any family elders to help check it out , Blind marriage is always inappropriate.)”

Uncle Niu stroked his long beard on his chin and nodded repeatedly, secretly thinking that people who have read books think things are safe.

"That's what I said..." Xu Mo poured a glass of wine for Uncle Niu, and hurriedly hit the iron while it was hot: "Uncle Niu, you might as well ask your aunt to tell the Li family and find a suitable opportunity for me to have a relationship with that Miss Gong Fu meets each other, even if she takes a glance from a distance, at least it can give both parties a better understanding, right?"

The Song Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty. The Song Dynasty, which inherited the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, was not as conservative as the later Ming Dynasty in terms of marriage between men and women. Xu Mo's request was completely within the acceptable range of the world.

"Well, I'll tell your aunt about it when I get back, and arrange for the two of you to meet as soon as possible."

After calling Xiao Erhui to pay the bill, Xu Mo and Uncle Niu left the tavern together.

When passing by Fangshi, Xu Mo remembered Xu Xian'er's repeated warnings before leaving the house, so he said goodbye to Uncle Niu for a while, went into Fangshi to weigh a few buckets of rice, cut a knife of meat, and bought some seasonal vegetables.

Of course, he didn't forget the bunch of candied haws promised to Xian'er.

People in the Song Dynasty generally only ate two meals in the morning and evening, and at most had some snacks at noon, so dinner time was generally relatively early.

When Xu Mo returned to the alley where he lived, the surrounding houses were already filled with smoke, and the air was filled with the unique smell of dead branches and rice fragrance. Although it was a little choking, it was full of the warmth of returning home.

It's a pity that this warm scene is just a false picture in the spiritual world.

"Yo, Brother Mo, are you back from work?"

Xu Mo was standing in front of the alley with emotion in his heart. A young woman came out slowly from the door on the right side of the alley with a basin of water, poured the water into the ditch and greeted Xu Mo with a wooden basin.

"Ah, Miss Gu." Xu Mo hurriedly returned the salute.

This woman is one of the two neighbors of the Xu family. Her name is Gu Pan. She is a husband and wife. The man is an old scholar in his [-]s and [-]s. Drowning in the canal, Gu Pan was the only person left in the family.

Although Xu Mo called her "big sister", in fact Gu Pan is not very old, she only looks 25 or [-] years old by visual inspection. The room is quite feminine.

Of course, in this day and age, it is not an exaggeration to describe an older woman like Gu Pan as "old and pearly", and the sudden death of her husband has given her the notoriety of "Kefu". After that, the neighbors in the neighborhood intended to help her find another family, but most of them left it at that because of these two reasons.

"Huh? Brother Mo, your clothes are torn?" Gu Pan put down the wooden basin, stepped forward and grabbed Xu Mo's sleeve, with long and slender fingers looking up at the three-finger-wide gap, he raised his eyes and said quietly : "Why don't you... Elder Sister, I'll make up for you. You've been tired from work all day, so I just came in for a drink..."

"No, I'll mend my brother's clothes."

At some point, Xu Xian'er was already standing in the alley with a sullen face. [

Gu Pan couldn't help but let go of his hand quickly, and put his head together in embarrassment, forced a smile: "So it's Miss Xian'er, have you come to pick up your brother?"

"Yeah, it's getting so late and the road is not smooth. I'm afraid my brother will be seduced by some mountain spirit and fox on the way so that he doesn't even know his family..."

/>

Xu Xian'er held Xu Mo's arm tightly as if in a demonstration, and sarcastically sarcastically.

"Heh... Sister Xian'er was joking, then, Brother Mo, I'll go back first."

Gu Pan smiled awkwardly, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, picked up the wooden basin on the ground, turned and returned to the gate.

Seeing Gu Pan's lonesome back disappearing inside the door, Xu Mo couldn't help sighing secretly, stretched out his hand and patted Xu Xian'er on the head a few times, and said, "Xian'er, you've said too much..."

Xu Xian'er licked the candied haws one after another, and said nonchalantly, "How could I be too much? That foxy girl surnamed Gu really thinks I can't see that she's seducing you? I'm not a child anymore."

"She is actually a miserable person, so don't say that about her in the future."

Xu Mo can understand Gu Pan's behavior. Under this social background, a young and beautiful woman who has been widowed for a long time will inevitably cause trouble. Gu Pan may not have any affection for him, but just wants to find a man she can rely on. .

"Hmph, as long as you have a good heart... Be careful not to be eaten so that there are not even bones left."

Xu Xian'er was quite dissatisfied with Xu Mo's excuse for Gu Pan, but after all, she was just a child at heart, seeing the meat and vegetable snacks that Xu Mo bought from the market, she quickly put this unhappiness behind her, While busy cooking, he was talking about Xu Mo spending too much money.

After dinner, Xu Mo lit a fire in the courtyard and set up a large wooden barrel with a special iron bottom.

In the Song Dynasty, there were actually places similar to public baths, but Xu Mo prefers the leisurely feeling of sitting in his yard while taking a hot bath and looking at the stars. one of hobbies.

"Yeah! Taking a bath again! Xian'er likes taking a bath the most!"

Not long after Xu Mo sat in the barrel, Xu Xian'er, who was stripped naked, ran out of the room wearing a towel and jumped into the barrel. The sudden overflow of water almost extinguished the fire below.

Xu Mo wiped off the water on his face, poked Xu Xian'er's forehead, but said helplessly: "You are here again...Xian'er, didn't I tell you a long time ago? You can no longer be with me I took a shower..."

"Why? In the past, Xian'er always took a bath with her elder brother..." Xu Xian'er blinked her big bright eyes, puzzled.

"that is because……"

Xu Mo suddenly felt that this question was really difficult to answer. After all, Xu Xian'er was only nine years old. With the low level of education and the pitiful information channels in ancient times, many adults might not know much about sex. It seemed too much for her to say this.

"That's because...you are a big girl." After much deliberation, Xu Mo had no choice but to resort to this universal excuse again.

"Miss, is it time to have a baby?" Xu Xian'er continued to ask like a curious baby.

"Uh... this one may have to wait a few more years."[

"Oh... I thought I could have a baby now."

Xu Xian'er sighed, submerged her little head in the water until it reached above her nose, and then a lot of bubbles bulged out, like a depressed crab.

"Heh... How old are you, and you are in a hurry to have a baby?" Xu Mo thought it was a little funny, as sure enough, there would always be some weird thoughts in the heads of children that adults could not understand.

"Because Aunt Wang next door said that as long as a girl can have children, she can marry." Xu Xian'er showed her head, her face flushed slightly, but she said in a very serious tone: "I want to marry The elder brother is the wife."
